Well... since everyone is talking baby names

in July 2011 Moms

We don't know the baby's sex yet. We have decided on Logan Robert for a boy (MN after DH's father) and Lorelei for a girl. We are struggling with picking a middle name and nickname for Lorelei.

Here's some of our ideas:

Lorelei Elizabeth
Lorelei Jean (after my mother)

Any other suggestions? For nicknames, I know of Rory and Lori but I can't think of any others. We can't go with Ellie because that is my niece's nickname (for Elliana).

TIA!

    Such a pretty name! I like Lorelei Jean the best...Lorelei Elizabeth is quite a mouthful.

    For other suggestions...I'd stick with a one-syllable middle name such as Rose, Claire, Jane, Quinn, Anne, Grace, Joy, Hope, Faith...

    For nicknames...Lola, Lora, Lorel are what I can come up with. I sure think Rory is cute though :)

    I like all of your name possibilities. Lorelei Jean is really cute. Does Lorelei really need a nickname? If so, Lori, Lore, even Lee-Lee maybe. My son is James and is never nicknamed, so I'm not in the need-to-nickname camp.

    Ok...Well I can help you in the Lorelei Department LOL...I personally know 2 Lorelei's (actually, 1 lorelei (my aunt) and 1 Lorelai (friend's daughter)

    My Aunt Lorelei is Lorelei Lee...Her nick names are Lore- Like Folk Lore...

    My Friend's Daughter is Lorelai Elizabeth...Her nick names are Yi-Yi (her brothers are 2 and 3 and cant pronounce it) and It's sticking...Everyone calls her Yi-Yi...

    But, she doesnt really need a nick name!

    I definitely think a one syllable MN would go nicely, so in my opinion Jean definitely flows a little nicer than Elizabeth.  Lorelei Rose would be pretty too....do any of the name data bases have a one syllable catagory?  That would be helpful!  We're still stumped on middle names but know we'd like to keep it short and sweet.

    Thank you so much for spelling Lorelei correctly! It's such a beautiful name. I've seen quite a few Lorelei Elizabeth/Elisabeth posts on the BNB, so my vote goes to Jean, which is less common and more sentimental.

    I'd suggest waiting on a nick name until the kid arrives. Sometimes a good story makes a good nickname.

    Thanks everyone for your comments!  DH and I talked about it and I think we are going to go with Lorelei Jean (if it's a girl). I like the sound of it and I think it will really be special for my mom to have her first grandchild named after her.
